The Philippines does suffer from a high average rainfall especially at this time of year with over 400mm in the current month although in the spring this from down to around 100mm many houses are built with tin roof with the result that heavy rain makes it impossible to hear someone speaking, added to this is the lack of rain gutters and downpipes so an artificial waterfall is created. Our house and lot for Sale in Dipolog city, is finished with shingle tiles which reduce the noise to nothing and we have long lasting plastic gutters and downpipes, rather that metal which deteriorate rapidly in the tropic,
As you can image you can collect a lot of free water and we originally had plans to place storage tanks behind the house filled by the downpipes rather that letting this resource go to waste.
The one good thing about tropical storms they are over quite quickly and soon the sun is shining brightly again.
Till the next time
